Man United demanded Serie A No.5 for Paul Pogba
Juventus wanted to sign former midfielder Paul Pogba in the summer, but Manchester United demanded Miralem Pjanic in return.
The French superstar won four Serie A titles during his time in Italy, and according to Gianluca di Marzio, Juventus made a late move for the 25-year-old midfielder in the summer transfer window.
But Manchester United responded by asking Juventus to include Miralem Pjanic as part of the deal. The Bosnia-Herzegovina star has been a key part of Old Lady’s midfield under Massimiliano Allegri, and the Italian champions quickly dismissed the Red Devils’ proposal.
Miralem Pjanic hailed Jose Mourinho’s men as a ‘great team’. ‘[Pogba is] a great footballer, just like [Nemanja] Matic or [Juan] Mata or Fred,” the midfielder told Sky Sport Italia. ‘United is a team of great quality, there are players who can make the difference, so we will have to face them like we did in the first leg.
‘I think that we had a very good game at Old Trafford, we could have scored a few more goals. We hope that in Turin we will manage to score more, but we must not forget that Manchester is a great team with a great coach.’
